Skis are diffuser to choose

I just recently bought the Rossignol skis and I feel iffy about them. They seem too large, would the atomic do better. Ik they are both different types of skis so my question tot eh world of skiers is which would just give me the overall good time? Im an intermediate skier just looking for a good time

been looking at skis on evo for a summer, both of these are very much beginner skis. Also what is your definition of a “good time”? The Rossis are carving skis and I guess the Mavericks are more all-mountain, so by a good time do you mean park skiing, carving, powder, or backcountry?

Mostly just carving or powders, what skis have you seen that are pretty good on evo

for carving, the blizzard thunderbirds look pretty good, and for powder it depends on your budget

OP doesn't know what carving or powder actually are, what he actually wants is a 170cm full twin park ski. Everyone who ever walked into my shop sounding like OP had their mind absolutely blown by a medium flex full twin in the 95-100mm waist range that was about nose high on them.

What ski would you recommend on a budget

Literally any twin tip ski in the 95-100mm width range that is shorter than you are, like I said in the above comment.
